+====== The Beach Generation ======
+In [[you>v=rngCW5053W0|this]] video [[lb:thegamingbrit]] points out how the 6th Console Generation seemed to be filled with a lot of Beach-themed games. And that, in general, the Beach/Summer theme permeated it.\\
+Going along with this conspiracy theory, I decided to create this article to list a few examples...\\
+And I realized at some point that this was granted a name by Generation Z: ‘**Frutiger Aero**’. I personally think that term is stupid,((:fn:>I think that it's an example of Gen Z's tendency to over-categorize. I get it, I like it too (over-categorization and the things labeled as ‘Frutiger Aero’) but come //on//. Honestly, though, [[lb:CARI]] and the [[lb:Aesthetics wiki]] are much worse.)) but you can add anything identified as such to the list.
